SAP Content Server 6.40 on 64 bit Windows

Hello,
As per PAM SAP Content Server 6.40 is supported on Windows but only on "WINDOWS SERVER 2003/IA32 32BIT" version.
So does it imply that content server is not supported on 64 bit Windows platform??
I also want to know about Windows Server 2008. Although it is not mentioned in PAM, is it supported for content server? Additionally I've checked SAP Note "1054740 - SAP System Installation on Windows Server 2008.txt" again which did not give any fair idea about Windows 2008 platform support.
Please throw some light on 64 bit windows support as well as for Windows 2008 platform support for content server (which implicitly has MAXDB as database).
Thanks & Regards,

Moving SAP Content Server/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 Server

Hi All.
We are in the process of upgrading our server where the SAP content server is located. We are going from SAP CS 6.30/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 server where we want to install SAP CS 6.40/MaxDB 7.8. I have been following the latest manual from SAP for upgrading to MaxDb 7.8 (2010-10-05) from MaxDb 7.6 using the in-place method.
To date we have installed MaxDB 7.6 on the server. We restored our latest backup and performed the index checks as spelled out in the manual. I have the database in ADMIN mode and went to run the MaxDb 7.8 install for the 64 bit window version. THe install GUI comes up, but the Update selection is grayed out. This tells me that the install program can not detect our existing database. I did make sure I was running the install as Admim so I do not think that is the issue.
This is the second time I have tried this upgrade. The first time I did a comand line upgrade by runing the .bat file DBUPDATE.bat. We have a 110 Gbyte database and this upgrade ran in about 15 minutes, and of course when I went to openthe database it was toast. Do not want to make the same mistake again.
One other point, since we did a restore of the database, then the index check, we did not run a backup as the manual suggested as we felt it was not necessary. Does the system require a backup before upgrade and that is why it does not see the database?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I beleive we have resolved the issue with upgrading the database, but now we are having a problem with Datbase Studio 7.8. Before the upgrade we used Data Manager 7.6. After the upgrade we installed Database Studio 7.8 and when we go to start it up, we are getting the Problems opening perspective 'com.sap.sdb.tools.ut.perspectives.mainPerspective'. I followed the instruction in another post Problems opening perspective in Database Studio, but we still are getting the error.
Can anybody offer any assistance as we are getting close to the weekend when we want to do the cutover and we are not even done with our first pass at upgrading the SAP content server.
Thanks
John

SAP Content Server 6.40 on 32 or 64 bit OS?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if SAP Content Server 6.40 on NW 2004s with MaxDB 7.6 will run on Windows 2003 64 or 32 bit? I have installed in on a x64 bit 2003 server now, but there seems to be some issues. For starters, I get the following error message when I try to run "http://<hostname>:<portno.>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo" as part of the post-processing when installing SAP Content Server 6.40:
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Does anyone have any ideas?

What is the latest prod. supported MaxDB Version w. SAP Content Server 6.40

What is the most actual supportet MaxDB Version when using with SAP Contentserver 6.40?
In PAM Page 5 (of the Powerpoint) the official Version should be 7.5.
In "install and Upgrade" NW 7.0 there is the "NW 7.0 Presentation - MaxDB Release 7.6.03" available for Download and the "MaxDB RDBMS 7.7.06 Build 10 - Windows Server on x64 64bit "
Does that mean, that the 7.7 Version is official supported for Production?
Searched the Notest but found no answer for that.
Ulrich
... half an hour later ...
just found MAXDB 7.7 Installation which suggest the 7.7 is the latest official supported.
could that be the answer?

SAP Content Server Upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 & MaxDB 7.3 to 7.8

Dear Experts,
We are in planning of upgrade SAP Content server from 6.3 to 6.4 and MaxDB from 7.3 build 35 to 7.8.
For Content server upgrade is that we need to install the Content server 6.4 and install the latest MaxDB 7.8 and export and import the data.
We are on Win 2003 32 Bit and we are migrating to win 2008 R2 64 Bit.
Is it possible directly using database copy and restoring in MaxDB 7.8 version?
Or we need to use loadercli for migrating the data.
As per the SDN Link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1649661
for content server upgrade is by replacing latest dll files at the respective dir.
Pls let me know your views and known issues.
Thank You,
Mahesh

SAP Content Server and Maxdb on Windows x64

Hello,
We currently run MaxDB 7.6 and Content Server 6.40 on Windows 2003 32 bit. We'd like to upgrade this to 64bit, preferably Windows 2008 R2. However, we would use 2003 x64 if necessary.
Does anyone know if this is possible and where we'd find the software and installation instructions? The information in the Service Marketplace / PAM seems a bit vague in this area (unless we're looking in the wrong place).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Philip.

Open/edit documents on SAP Content Server from BW?

Hi guys
I have been asked to investigate whether this scenario is possible.
Today we have a SAP Content Server where we save attachments to different kinds of objects. An example could be that we open appropriation request 'S-00123' from IMA11 and attach two different MS Word documents.
In BW I have created several reports that contain these appropriation requests and we would like to be able to attach/edit the files on the content server from the BW report.
Is this somehow possible using RRI or some other functionality?
Might it even be possible by using GoTo --> Documents with the appropriate setup?

Https access to Sap Content Server 620 with R/3 46C

We are trying to access the Sap Content Server 620 via Https.
We do not want to administer it via HTTPS, (as we know CSADMIN doesn't support Https in rel. 46C as for note 712332). We want to do in way that the users when do check-in/out of originals these go across the

According note 712330 it should be possible.
Anyone already did it ?
Any suggestions ?

0)activate the SSL on the Sap COntent Server Web Site, requiring and installing a CA certificate.
1)On the R/3 server in tx OAC0 with %HTTPS filled up the
two boxes with "%HHTPS
required"
1)unpacked the Sap criptolibrary and copied all the files (including those in ntintel subdirectory created during the unpacking) under c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui on a frontend PC.
2)set the env. variable SAPHTTP=c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui on
Frontend PC
3) from c:\Programmi\Sap\Frontend\Sapgui we created both the SAPSSLC.pse and the SAPSSLS.pse file with the command :

I'm more or less in the same situation right now.
Taking into account that you ask for help on this subject last 2004 Oct. I suppose that you have probably solved the problem.

Sap Content server Direct Browser Access - docGet

We use SAP Content Server for DMS doc storage. Docs are stored without digital signing.
I am looking to access dms original files directly via web browser using the "docGet" command.
My url looks as shown:
http://pswdf009:1080/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?docGet&pVersion=0045&contRep=K1&docId=361A524A3ECB5459E0000800099245EC
When I call the url, browser does not seem to be able to read the file type of the server response. An "open/save" dialog appears and when "open" is selected a subsequent dialog appears asking which application to use to open the file. Once the correct application is chosen, the document is displayed correctly.
Is there some way to instruct the browser the content-type is application/pdf?
Will CSAdmin parameter changes have any impact?
The browser is Internet Explorer 6.
Any help is appreciated.
Roger

Hi Roger,
you may of course find an answer here.
But mySAP PLM DMS is not a focus topic here (besides maybe connecting it into the SAP Portal and KM). Thus, you may be better off using a contact or a message to PLM.
